Water conservation: It’s your job too

Water is defined as a clear, colorless, nearly odorless and tasteless liquid. This liquid is essential for the existence of most plant and

animal life. Our Southwestern desert climate is characterized by low humidity and little rainfall, as little as seven to fourteen inches per year on average.

Low humidity combined with high heat and drying winds causes more than six feet of water to evaporate from soil and water

surfaces each year. With increasing population and continuing drought conditions, we must take an active part in water management, not just for ourselves, but for desert plants and wildlife.

On Saturday, March 31, The Gardens at Carefree Town Center is privileged to present Glenn Fahringer, owner of Earth Care For All That’s Green, Inc. and town arborist for the Town of Cave Creek. Join us for this important, free seminar, beginning at 9:30 a.m. and running approximately until noon, at the Town Council Chambers located at 100 Easy Street in Carefree. Seating is limited.
